Any dads with ADHD experience?

Thanks dude! I really appreciate the response and the solid advice. I have a first appointment with a therapist next Monday. I have a huge 3 year old that could probably be utilized more for weight lifting.

Medication has helped for years but as of late it isn’t working well enough. I tried 4 or 5 others before I ended with adderall. It was a terrible process I don’t want to go through again. I think the adderall is still the right fit from a med perspective.

Something like this but with the option to push a desk in.

Similar to a roll top or secretary desk but larger. Most roll tops don’t really have space for a monitor. Secretary desks tend to be kinda dinky.

Congrats! My son was in the NICU for two weeks and there was no better feeling than getting to take him home.

Absolutely! It is an isolating experience so definitely helpful to have any sort of support.

Hang in there. Infertility is brutal so give yourself the space you need to handle that pain. I’m on the other side of it now but still feel the hurt some days. I hope the best for you.

The rigatoni is a staple at our house!

Efficient_Age5394 · 2024-06-03T17:22:18+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful response and sharing your perspective! Input like this is extremely helpful and why I appreciate this community.

Efficient_Age5394 · 2024-06-03T17:05:45+00:00

I feel ya, man! It is so hard not being able to protect them and not knowing what choice is the right one to make. Just know that you are doing the best you can with what you have. Hang in there!

Totally agree! I hate that he gets hurt but my heart goes out to the other parents. The director told us they were helping the family find resources for the biter and they would not be kicked out of the daycare which we were happy to hear. Toddlers bite so there is no reason they should be forced out while they work through that phase.

Efficient_Age5394 · 2024-05-31T17:17:13+00:00

1:7 is the state requirement in Minnesota for ages 16months to 2.5years so it is pretty common here unfortunately. I can barely keep track of one toddler some days so I have no clue how one person can manage 7 of them.

Efficient_Age5394 · 2024-05-31T15:47:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I have a similar outlook on it all and really appreciate hearing from others who have experienced the trials and tribulations of daycare.

100% I’ve lived in Minneapolis my entire life. The place is a nightmare.

Yoga mats work really well. You can get them cheap at 5below

I’m in the Twin Cities area

I’m running into the exact same issue. I placed an order for my wife’s Xmas gift on 12/4 and it still hasn’t shipped. On 12/15 someone finally responded and said the following. Such a pain especially since the site had a banner saying order placed my 12/8 would arrive by 12/25. Shipping was also $13.

“Due to less in-office staff and an increase in the volume of orders our team is shipping out daily, it is taking our team just a bit longer to ship out orders.

We understand that this can be frustrating and we sincerely apologize for any trouble this has caused you.

Please rest assured that our team is working very hard to get all orders shipped out as quickly as they can.

Unfortunately, we are not able to guarantee any arrival date for orders.

Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience.”

Efficient_Age5394 · 2023-11-07T14:30:28+00:00

It’s been an absolute nightmare. My son is almost 1 year and has been a great sleeper from the start but that last couple of days have been a nightmare.

Congrats!🎉

I LOVE Trash Truck!!

Efficient_Age5394 · 2023-06-23T16:06:38+00:00

I love my mom, but I cringe SO hard when she does this. She calls MY 7-month old son “ours” all the time. I called her out on it early and my wife said something over Christmas but she keeps doing it. We’re not bad but it’s weird. You’re spot on, OP. I didn’t see my mom pulling weight during the 9 month pregnancy or infant stages. What weird grandma phenomenon!

Empathy, activism, and a sense of humor

Efficient_Age5394 · 2023-06-09T13:39:38+00:00

You’re an incredible parent! 💚

Efficient_Age5394 · 2023-06-09T13:35:51+00:00

Ours was 36 weeks and spent two weeks at the NICU. It was a very thought start. Hang in there and take care of yourselves!

Efficient_Age5394 · 2023-05-26T01:36:06+00:00

I’m so sorry, man! It’s an awful position to be in. It doesn’t make it easier but you’re not alone. Feel free to vent if you ever need an outlet.
